1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Gut microbiota can evolve within their hosts on human-relevant timescales, but little is known about how these changes influence (or are influenced by) the composition of their local community. Here, by combining ecological and evolutionary analyses of a large cohort of human gut metagenomes, we show that the short-term evolution of the microbiota is linked with shifts in its ecological structure. These correlations are not simply explained by expansions of the evolving species, and often involve additional fluctuations in distantly related taxa. We show that similar feedbacks naturally emerge in simple resource competition models, even in the absence of cross-feeding or predation. These results suggest that the structure and function of host microbiota may be shaped by their local evolutionary history, which could have important implications for personalized medicine and microbiome engineering.
